"I have written the medication method in it, and the adults will just take it according to the prescription." Yun Ruoyue exhorted.
Tian Zhang was moved and said, "Okay, thank you, Princess."
As he said, he glanced at the sky and said: "The prince and princess, it's getting late, we should start, and please take care."
"Master Tian, you also take care. Mo Li, you send someone to escort Master Tian's family to Jiangzhou and settle them down before returning to their lives." Chu Xuanchen ordered.
"Yes, Lord." Mo Li said.
In this way, Tian Zhang's family was escorted to Jiangzhou by Mo Li.
After arriving in Jiangzhou, Chu Xuanchen asked Jiang Ning to arrange some leisurely duties for him first, so that he could hide behind the scenes, while recuperating his body, while helping Jiang Ning to lay hands.
In this way, Tian Zhang can help him with things and support his family.
After Tian Zhang left, Yun Ruoyue said anxiously: "Lord, Master Tian is right. The disaster relief is imminent. The emperor refuses to allocate funds for disaster relief. There is no way to save so many people with our strength. It seems that we still have it. You have to find a way to get the emperor to approve the funds."
Chu Xuanchen sank his eyes and said, "Okay, in the morning tomorrow, this king will propose to the emperor that he should allocate funds for disaster relief."
-
In the early morning the next day, Emperor Hongyuan came late again with dark circles under his eyes.
As soon as he sat down, Chu Xuanchen stepped forward and said: "The emperor, the summer is scorching, and now there are droughts and floods in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and there are still locusts in the northwest, causing no crops. Hengsheng. Now the situation is critical, and the minister begs the emperor to allocate funds for disaster relief."
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Now that the treasury is empty, even he himself is not enough. He doesn't want to use money to rescue the victims.
He thought for a while, and said: "King Li, I also sympathize with the victims, but natural disasters have occurred frequently in the past two years. The national treasury has not received much tax and money, but a lot of money has been allocated for disaster relief. Now that the national treasury is empty, I am really struggling and unable to do so. Funding, think of a way to see if you can raise funds for disaster relief as you did last time."
When Dong Changfeng and others heard this, they all felt that Emperor Hongyuan was really selfish.
He just didn't want to allocate funds, and settled the fundraising issue on King Li.
Asking the wealthy and the gentry to pay is offensive, and it is difficult to raise money.
This is really a good thing. The bad things belong to King Li alone. The abacus of Emperor Hongyuan is really shrewd.
Chu Xuanchen looked down and said: "The emperor, even if the rich and nobles in the city are willing to donate, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to what the people need, and it is far from enough. The minister heard from the Minister of Households last time that the national treasury paid The fiscal revenue is about 10 million taels. In addition, a large part of the tax is collected in the form of grain. In this way, after deducting the annual fiscal expenditure, there are at least tens of millions taels of silver in the national treasury. The minister implored the emperor. Open the warehouse to release grain, allocate funds for disaster relief, and save the people from the fire and water."
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan's face became darker.
He stared sharply at Chu Xuanchen, and said in a deep voice: "There is indeed a little silver in the treasury, but my mausoleum has not been completed yet. At least five million taels of silver are needed. I will also build for the newly-introduced Dong Guiren. A palace also needs to repair the ancestral temple and the palace, and invite alchemists to make alchemy. This expenditure is huge. I don't know how to fill these holes, and where is the money for disaster relief?"
The ministers were very chilling when they heard this.
Chu Xuanchen clenched his fists, his eyes full of coldness.
Emperor Hongyuan was so arrogant and extravagant, he made great efforts in civil engineering, and made his father's country like this. He hated him very much in his heart, but he had to forbear it.
He took a deep breath and said: "The emperor is still in his prime, and the construction of the mausoleum can be postponed. There are many palaces in the palace, and there is no need to build a new palace for Dong Guiren."
Seeing Emperor Hongyuan’s face very gloomy, Rui Wang said: "King Li, the emperor is the emperor of the true dragon. The construction of the emperor’s tomb is a major matter in the country. How can it be delayed? Starting to build the imperial tomb, do you want to go against the etiquette system?"
Chu Xuanchen said coldly, "This king doesn't mean this. Of course, the emperor's mausoleum needs to be repaired, but now the situation is critical and this king thinks it can be postponed."
"If we continue to repair the imperial tombs now, it will only cost the people and money, and consume a lot of manpower and material resources. With so much money, it can definitely help more people."
Having said this, he looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said: "The emperor, now the people are in distress, and there are tens of thousands of refugees on the street. Relief for the people is the most important thing. The minister urged the emperor to temporarily build the mausoleum and use the money for disaster relief."
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan's expression was so gloomy that it could drip.
He was very dissatisfied with Chu Xuanchen, but Chu Xuanchen held the military power and had a high position, so he really didn't dare to do anything to him.
He had no choice but to say: "King Li, the construction of the imperial tomb is a major matter of the country, and it cannot be postponed. You ministers who eat the emperor should bear the worries of the emperor. In the future, you should find a way to solve this kind of trivial matter. Don't bother me and retreat. towards."
With that, Emperor Hongyuan got up and walked out of the hall coldly.
What he meant was that he didn't even want to pay a penny, but just wanted to push the matter to Chu Xuanchen and others.
Seeing the appearance of Emperor Hongyuan, Chu Xuanchen squeezed his fists fiercely, very angry.
The other ministers also shook their heads and looked at Chu Xuanchen sympathetically.
After Chu Xuanchen walked out of the hall, he glanced at Mo Li outside.
Now that he can't persuade the emperor, it seems that he has to find another way.
-
Since the last time Hongyuan Emperor called Xue Tianxiang once, he has not called her to bed.
It is said that Emperor Hongyuan turns the brand of Dong Shishi every day, and listens to singing songs with Dong Shishi all day long. He is very fond of Dong Shishi.
With the newcomer Dong Shishi, he immediately forgot the old man Xue Tianxiang.
Xue Tianxiang was very worried when he thought that Emperor Hongyuan hadn't summoned himself for so long.
She sat in the hall and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling very bored.
She is still the same, her appearance hasn't changed at all, but why Hongyuan doesn't like her anymore
Men really like the new and hate the old. She is really afraid that Emperor Hongyuan will leave her out forever. In this way, she may lose her phoenix seal and status, and she will also lose the days when one person is less than ten thousand people and is sought after.
No, she can't sit still, she has to find a way to snatch Emperor Hongyuan back.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and said to Amina: "Amina, help my palace to dress up, my palace is going to see the emperor."
Amina nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the imperial concubine."
With that said, she hurriedly helped Xue Tianxiang dress up with other court ladies.
After a while, Amina started painting Xue Tianxiang's face. She opened a powder box and suddenly said: "Oh, my mother, there is no pearl powder."
Xue Tianxiang said indifferently: "Tell Jin Chuan to go to the House of Internal Affairs to get it."
